PEW: Annual Firearm-Related Homicides Down Nearly 50 Percent from 20 Years Ago Scott Olson/Getty Images/AFP by AWR Hawkins On October 21, Pew Research Center released findings that show the annual rate of firearm-related homicides in America declined by nearly 50 percent between 1993 and 2013.

I’m told my aim was quite good for a rookie, but you can watch the video and decide for yourself. PS: I’m a liberal. The experience was totally at odds with both my political and national identity.

Both liberals and Brits look at America’s love of guns… View Article

Poll: More Concealed Carry Equals Less Crime AP Photo/Al Behrman by AWR Hawkins A Gallup poll released on October 20 shows that a majority of Americans believe more concealed carry equals less crime. According to Gallup, 56 percent of Americans answered in the affirmative when asked if the U.S. would be safer if “more Americans were allowed to carry concealed weapons if they passed a criminal background check and training course.” 41 percent of respondents said more concealed carry would make the country less safe.
